This week’s market is about celebrating the colour green! Here are some of our favourite green things you can find at the market this week: peas, carrot tops, cupcake sprinkles, basil (oh my goodness – the basil!), guacamole, fused glass necklaces, peppers, zebra tomatoes, Swarovski crystals, scented soaps, lettuce, corn husks, macarons (two kinds of green ones!), antipasto, dill… what else is on your list?
Musical guests this week are just being comfirmed and we’ll publish who it is once we find out. Our music at the market is sponsored by the great people at the Heritage Grill. Be sure to check out the kids area with crafts sponsored by local realtor Derrick Thornhill, and stop by to see what the folks from the Royal City Gogos are working on.
You can reach the market via transit by taking the 106 bus or the Skytrain to Columbia Street Station and walking to the market at 4th and Royal. Parking is available in the neighbourhood for free or at City Hall’s lot after 4:30. Please respect our neighbours. Our bike rack has temporarily gone missing, but you can drop your bike off to the fine folks at our info desk at the top end of the market.
